Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pulmonary circuit specifically refers to the path of blood flow that goes from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation and then back to the heart. This is distinct from the systemic circuit, which circulates blood throughout the rest of the body to deliver oxygenated blood and return deoxygenated blood to the heart.
